About Charles E.
Charles E. Cartwright studied business before turning to law. He earned a B.B.A. from the College of William and Mary in 1987 and completed further study at the University of Miami in 1993. Those years set the stage for a career centered in South Florida courts and professional organizations.
Early in his career he settled into practice in Palm Beach County and the surrounding region. Over time he became a familiar presence in local legal circles. He has balanced casework with participation in bar activities, maintaining a steady connection to the institutions that govern the profession.
He serves on the Professionalism and Civil Practice Committees of the Palm Beach County Bar Association. He is also a member of the Palm Beach County Hispanic Bar Association and The Florida Bar. His committee work includes service with the Florida Bar Grievance Committee for the 15th Judicial Circuit. Those roles place him regularly in discussions about ethics, discipline and professional standards.
Cartwright’s professional affiliations extend beyond strictly legal groups. He holds membership in the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Palm Beach County and the Lake Worth Chamber of Commerce. He is also involved with the Palm Beach County Justice Association. That mix of civic and legal organizations reflects a practice that crosses courtroom work and community relationships.
On the practical side, his portfolio has a concentration in civil practice matters. He handles litigation and case management tied to local civil disputes. His committee appointments and grievance committee experience mean he is frequently engaged in questions of professional responsibility and conduct alongside casework.
Colleagues describe him as persistent and steady in court, willing to take the time required to prepare a matter. He tends to approach contested matters with thoroughness rather than flash. Those traits align with the kinds of committee assignments he holds, where procedural knowledge and attention to rules are important.
He maintains a Pompano Beach office as well as a separate main office. He continues to combine litigation in civil matters with participation in bar governance and community organizations. His current practice handles civil practice and matters involving professional responsibility.
